either way you look at it, carolina just threw a bunch of money at injury prone players.

Absolutely false. One of....maybe.......but afterwards, everyone said it was Robert Kraft who got **** done.

[RaiderNation]

I hope we dont sign Cromartie. IMO he is overrated, and we already gave big money to Routt. If Al wants to use money of a CB he should just try to get Nnamdi back

Exactly. That's how I feel too.

Sucks for the Vikings.

[diabsoule]

The seahawks have agreed to a 5 year deal with wr sidney rice. Still not signed but 2 sides have agreed to terms

[BeerBaron]

That is a kick in the balls to the Vikings.

Well, technically no one can sign with a NEW team until Friday iirc. So anyone changing teams has just agreed to terms. Teams can resign their own free agents currently however.

yea i wouldnt have re-signed williams (eventhough I think he's better than our other RBs and am not a goodson fan) or davis tbh. probably wouldve waited out anderson so I wouldn't be locked in for a huge deal with him either

like I said, they aren't the most well run organization. marty hurney is an idiot

but overpaying their own guys has been their MO for a long time. just because peppers didnt want to stay in town doesnt change that

BTW in a couple years with Cam at QB I could easily see one or both of DWill/Stewart averaging 6+ ypc over 200 carries

[A Perfect Score]

Seahawks are going big this year huh...Too bad they still don't have a QB, because that offense could be straight up nasty after the offensive line gels.

Marion Barber is garbage. He's barely even good in short yardage situations anymore.

[49erNation85]

That is just a wow for Seattle only if they had a good qb to throw to him. The Jackson pick up might of been a hint who knows.

[M.O.T.H.]

What are you thinking Sidney? ugh.

Because getting injured once in 6 years makes him injury prone? Ill concede that Davis might be but not Williams.

Pete Carroll might be the league's new "worst talent evaluator" after McD got fired, but I think he's kept his ability to sweet talk and "recruit" from his USC days.

Suhweet for the Broncos. This makes it a little less likely that Seattle will have room in their coffers for Mebane (although I understand they likely still have quite a bit of dough left)

Although, I said the same thing when Carolina resigned Charles Johnson. Knock on wood laminate.

[Raiderz4Life]

Was actually hoping Rice would have gone to the Rams lol

[diabsoule]

Sidney Rice gets five years, $41 million with $18.5 million guaranteed from the Seahawks.

[V.I.P]

That sure is alot of money for a one year wonder.

[SchizophrenicBatman]

DWill isn't really that injury prone. Most of the games he's sat out of were with minor injuries when we were out of the playoff picture. Probably would've played if the games mattered or we didnt have the RB depth we have

I guess you could say he's "soft" for that but eh
